Portland, seen from the Aerial Tram
Looking north from the Aerial Tram, the Ross Island Bridge running east and west across the bottom of the photo, the Marquam Bridge curving north and south.
The Marquam Bridge--the upper deck is I-5 northbound, the lower deck is I-5 southbound.
The Ross Island Bridge goes over the Willamette River between southeast and southwest Portland. At the right edge of the photo, about a third of the way up from the bottom, you can see the Aerial Tram. I'm not sure if it is coming up or going down.
Looking pretty much northeast, you can see lots of southeast, northeast and north Portland. The bridges are, from right to left, Marquam, Hawthorne, Morrison, and Burnside.
Those pictures are beautiful! It looks like you were having perfect weather that day.
ReplyDeleteGreat views! I really want to visit there someday.
ReplyDeleteThis is like a geography lesson, Lynette.
